Ummm... maybe you don't want to hear this, and I know you've said I'm beautiful, but seriously... I'm 100 pounds over weight. The only reason I think anyone is ever interested in me is because I have a decent face.
You know my history. You know what's happening in 3 days. You know my future plans.
Also... seriously. Someone loved you enough for who you are to marry you a long time ago, which is more than what can be said for me.
Yes, you need to go back on antidepressants... wheather is's cymbalta or not.
You've never talked like this before. I've watched you swing up and down several times in your LJ.
Aww, I don't know you, like at all, but I still had to comment to this because it was sad and I think you need to know that someone is reading and listening.
I've struggled so much with body image my entire life...it's such a bitch. In reality I am sure that you are not ugly and I know it sounds damn cliche but there really are good people out there who are not superficial and who care more about beauty from the inside.
I don't know how honest you were about being married and in an open relationship, but that probably had a lot more to do with lack of interest than your size or facial features. Personally, I think you have nice eyes and a reasonably pleasant if not gorgeous face, and you're not THAT fat. But being married and looking for dates really narrows your potential respondents. Also, you are right that men have a harder time on dating sites than women do, even us fat chicks.
Anyway, confidence and optimism can go a lot further than you might think toward attracting other people to you, whether as friends or lovers. It's easy to become bitter, and I do sympathize, but bitterness and negativity are not attractive.

THANK YOU. I have been telling him this for years.

Be kind to yourself and try to hold on to hope.

I hear what you are saying, sometimes venting helps... I do feel a bit better today.

Now, I will give you that it is easier for chicks to get laid, but it is all about confidence and how you present yourself.
If you don't think you are worth fucking, I sure as hell am not going to.
